If you know any French people try reading '1000 Years of Annoying the French' by Stephen Clarke. It provides endless hours of enjoyment destroying the dearly held beliefs that every French person has about history (ie. they didn't invent the guillotine or champagne either, not even the croissant. and those pesky Normans turned out not to be French but .... Vikings, which explains why we lost) ... and it's quite funny too.

ReplyDeleteMaybe not, might be preserved by the rocket's blast of moon dust and the above phenomenon.

They may have invented soap and they're still trying to find a use for it.
ReplyDeleteFrench Military weapons are highly prized. They have never been fired, but usually have a few dings from being dropped.
